Potential SC game that we could play. Everyone starts with a pretend £200, and you can bet on anyone and anything.

Every time you make a bet, you have to list your bet number, who you're betting on, bet type, odds, bet stake, and the bookmaker (with whom you found the odds), how much you stand to win, and how much you're left with. An example of a first bet could look like this:

Bet No: 1
Bet: Everton v TOTTENHAM, Arsenal v STOKE
Type: Double
Odds: 16/1
Stake: £60.00
Bookmaker: William Hill
Returns (inc stake): £1020.00
Balance: £140.00

Everyone will self referee their own bets and balance, and if you win, quote your own post and highlight your bet in red text so people know why your balance is climbing :)

The idea is that the first to £10,000 wins. Anyone who goes broke is out. Should no one have won by 12.00am on 27th December, the gambler with the highest balance wins.

Remember, it's completely fictional, and no bets actually have to be placed.

Can people give A) and idea of whether they're interested, and B) if they can think of something to improve the game.

One possibility is to have a subforum created, and everyone has their own thread. Of course, if only 3 people take parts, that's kind of overkill :)

Yep, count me in.

When does it start, this weekend ??

Just an idea, but maybe extend it to the end of boxing day, as its' always a big day of footie and racing.

I'll play.

Will we have a limit to the amount of bets we can make a day/week?

Good call. I think we'll probably run with that :up: With regard to start time, see below.

Any advice to take from it to make this better? :)

Not at all. Completely 'real' fake gambling :) You can whack the entire £200 on a single accy at 20/1, or you can bet 20 times every day for the duration of the game. Basically, if a bookie would take the bet, you can do it :up:

I'm interested. :)

Good man. Lemme know if the interest rises enough to get yourself involved :)

@ everyone:


We'll probably try and get this underway ASAP, as time is already running out, and there is a full weekend of fixtures coming up. Hopefully everyone who'd want to be involved will see the thread by tomorrow evening and we can get it underway.
